Although glaucoma is largely managed by ophthalmologists in a hospital setting, there are many optometrists who are intending, or already are, practising glaucoma management in a shared care setting, either in their own practice, in a hospital or at a polyclinic. This article is aimed to provide an overview of management of glaucoma by optometrists, to equip them with the necessary skills to perform this service. Before discussing the actual medical management options, it has to be emphasised that correct diagnosis based on the patients history and examination is an essential precursor to correct treatment.
